UAE Termination Settlement Calculator 2026
Fired or terminated? Calculate your total settlement including gratuity, notice period compensation, leave encashment, and any Article 47 retaliation claim, all based on Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021.
Your Employment Details
Basic salary only (excl. allowances). This is used for gratuity.
Last full monthly wage incl. allowances. Used for unpaid salary and any Article 47 claim.
You may be entitled to Article 47 compensation
Under Article 47, dismissal is unlawful if it was because you filed a serious complaint with MOHRE or a lawsuit against the employer that is proven valid. The court can award fair compensation of up to 3 months of your last wage, on top of notice allowance and gratuity. The amount depends on the work type, the damage to you and your length of service.
You are owed a notice period allowance
Under Article 43, if your employer did not let you serve your notice period, it must pay salary for the unserved days. Being fired without notice or without a reason is not, by itself, unlawful dismissal under Article 47 (the old 1980 arbitrary dismissal test no longer applies).
You keep your gratuity
Dismissal without notice under Article 44 ends your notice pay, not your gratuity. Article 51 has no forfeiture rule; the employer may only deduct amounts you legally owe (Article 51(7)). If you believe the misconduct claim is false, file a MOHRE complaint.
Enter 0 if fired without any notice.
Leave days you haven't taken yet.
Any unpaid working days including current month.

Your employer must pay within 14 days
Under Article 53, all wages, entitlements, and gratuity must be paid within 14 days of your last working day. If they delay, file a complaint with MOHRE.
What to do next
- 1 Request a written termination letter from your employer stating the reason, effective date, and final settlement details.
- 2 Check your final settlement against this calculation. If amounts don't match, do not sign a "full and final settlement" without reviewing.
- 3 Wait 14 days after your last working day. If payment is not received, file a MOHRE complaint.
- 4 Visa grace period: You have 30 days after termination to find a new job, transfer your visa, or leave the UAE.
